AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The spray apparatus of this invention prevents damage to the upper beam by limiting its deflection through a lower beam, even with a carrier frame made of plastics material. A stop element is also secured to the upper beam. This results in reduced likelihood of mechanical damage to the upper beam, which is an improved feature of the spray apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

If the spray apparatus is removed from the back and placed in a hard manner on the ground—in particular when the storage container is well filled—considerable deflections of the upper unit relative to the lower unit may occur.
In this instance, the upper cantilever beam can be deflected significantly, which may lead to damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]The spray apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a back-mounted spray apparatus 1 and comprises a carrier frame 2 which is intended to be carried on the back of a user.

[0027]As shown in FIG. 2, the carrier frame 2 substantially comprises a rear plate 3 which is secured to the back of a user and which has a first, lower cantilever beam 4 and a second upper cantilever beam 5. The cantilever beams 4 and 5 substantially adjoin the rear plate 3 at a right angle 6 and 7; the carrier frame 2 comprising the rear plate 3 and the cantilever beams 4 and 5 is especially produced from plastics material. Advantageously, the rear plate 3 and the cantilever beams 4 and 5 are constructed as a single component.

[0028]There is supported on the lower cantilever beam 4 a fan unit 8, which is driven by an internal combustion engine 9, in particular a two-stroke engine or a four-stroke engine. An electric motor may also be provided as a drive motor.

[0029]On the upper cantilever beam 5, there is retained...

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable spray apparatus having a carrier frame, a blower and a storage vessel for a medium to be discharged. An upper unit with the storage vessel and a lower unit with the blower are retained on the carrier frame. The two units are located in the vertical direction of the carrier frame at a spacing (z) from each other. The spacing (z) is selected so that a movement gap is formed between the upper unit and the lower unit. To limit the resilient deflection of the upper unit, there is arranged on one of the units a damping stop which limits the movement gap and damps a resilient deflection of the upper unit by abutment of the damping stop on the other one of the units.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority of German patent application no. 10 2014 005 188.9, filed Apr. 9, 2014, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a portable spray apparatus which includes a carrier frame, a fan unit and a storage container for a medium to be discharged.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Such a spray apparatus is known. The carrier frame comprises a rear plate and two cantilever beams which are located perpendicularly to the rear plate and which carry a first unit having a storage container and a second unit having a fan unit. The medium which is to be discharged by the fan unit is stored in the storage container and supplied to the blow pipe of the fan unit by means of a suitable conveyor. The units which are retained on the cantilever beams are located in a vertical direction of the carrier frame with spacing from each other, a movement gap being fo...
